How is that for a compact visual travel setup!

Here a picture of my air travel setup, a Sky90 on a Swiss AOK AYO Traveler mount.
The mount is 900 grams and the dovetail plate can be taken of and a Takahashi clamp fits the bolt holes directly. The mount is milled out of one block with a small brace which doubles as a handle, friction is controlled with the two nobs.
When I travel I remove the dovetail part to make it lighter and more compact by mounting the Tak camp directly.
It fits on any photo tripod with 3/8" bolt.
Up to 150x it is easy to track, limit with my setup is the tripod not the mount.
Mount and tripod go in the check in bag, Sky90 goes in the backpack as hand luggage.
